An eco fashion designer and artist, Luis Valenzuela takes the saying "one persons trash is anothers treasure" to a whole other level.  His sustainable design go from waste materials to fabulous eco-couture.  His ability to create these gorgeous pieces through recycling trash is truly an inspiration and a fashion forward step into a more green, eco-conscious world.  A truly skilled artist, check him out at Luisvalenzuelausa.com.  My faves are the ones inspired by Frida, Dali and Anselm Keifer...how about you?
